Dear family: I never knew this kind gentleman's name, but as I was looking up an obituary for a family friend on the funeral home's website I recognized his face instantly. Years ago, I would see him in church and one Sunday he sat right behind me. The priest spoke about being a good shepherd. During the mass I was teaching my young son the proper way to pray and make the sign of the cross. When it came time to offer a sign of peace to those round you, I turned to Jack, he shook my hand and with a smile and tear in his eye, he said " You are an example of a good shepherd as the priest talked about. May you be blessed every day of your life." I will never forget that and am very grateful for his kind words. I just wanted to share that with you. I am sure there any many more instances of his kind words.
